as time passes since that boats actually sunk down sunrise two pm moscow time and twelve hours have already passed rescue operations already on the scene and they've actually located the boat on the bottom of the pogo river turns on it's right that's a call into toyotas that the sea the rescue operation is in full swing but concern for those over one hundred still missing this post still have been carrying between one hundred twenty nine and one hundred eighty eight people many of them children in fact a third of them thought speech children and eyewitness reports say this around thirty of those those are sure colgate is in a games room playing enjoying themselves just before this boat sank and they are given very little time to escape and because an officer there whether or not they made it sells in general actually this boat says you mentioned sign can under three

minutes people not really given the sufficient time to dawn life vests and reach rescue folks who recourse one of those who did smash it stay with the survivors who describe the situation in the water. park and i'm never. sure you know passed without starting to signal to them just. just want. to. assume the problems here with the rescue operation firstly twelve hours already passed and it is now night times of divers still operating there but maybe not conditions looking for what's happened away these missing people could be located one possible idea is the fact that there's around thirteen islands nearby in this three kilometers of the measure around three times where the ship sank to something that they could have such as these nearby are those that could be found there by a local reporter on the scene destroyed some of the problems they may witness and

trying to get those islands. the rescue mission is underway and will continue throughout the night. only have been able to swing too far from where the. currents are making decisions mission increasingly difficult because people may have been swept several kilometers away. we're sending rescuers a dozen with. also we have divers arriving here to help with the operation thirty seven people are already on their way. so the strong winds of the currents proving problems for rescuers and other of those who already managed to get to those like they saw as the molest her has actually been aircraft scanning as ours to find any survivors. jake of this boat is one that has worked in those waters and for many years are there any clues as to what caused it rapid sinking at

this point. person material is said there is already going to be an investigation a full investigation launched to find out what exactly happened here we're already hearing a number of theories among them the simple fact that the boat. was fairly old around fifty five years old in fact also eyewitness accounts say that they say they feel the cats in the crew members mind of being able to do enough to stop the boats for a sinking in such a short space of time again under three minutes time and we actually spoken to someone who was a representative on the search or rescue boats you found those survivors who described the situation at the scene. well that's what sank in about two minutes the crew which i don't try to tell me how does water company in florida we didn't reach a tragic case on the boat when john before we were saying the area where the crews are sound for five and some others it was only van auken at the scene i think to

say that our households are old and should have been properly made. part of the still ongoing search for those survivors another theory being given is that there is it simply was over crowded now hundred forty is a total capacity for this boat and it's thought to have between one hundred seventy nine under a hundred and eighty eight people on board because now they're talking to those who are still missing and we've spoken to residents of the health ministry for the republican house members dealing with this emergency situation at the moment said they've already received some injured. people to use just a moment ten people in hospitals with minor injuries cuts and bruises all of these victims require psychological help. just with you. also you will be keeping your

data with the situation as it progresses. through out the noise and finding out what is that he's going on this to see. all right jacob greaves thank you very much for keeping us up to date there will come back to you as more information becomes available. egypt's prime minister is of value to sack any member of the security forces accused of killing protesters during the uprising that toppled former president hosni mubarak a statement comes after thousands of egyptians turned out for the biggest rally in months angered over the slow pace of prosecuting officials and reforms and people say they will keep fighting until they see change parties and he said no way is that the scene. egypt's uprising might have ousted president mubarak but to them he's far from gone thousands of people out here on top here they all say different things into egypt but they are trying to gather because the people we've spoken to feel like their revolution has been stolen we go through the of mubarak but the mubarak's dictatorship is still

a life when the taste of freedom goes short lived the military use and full power mass media is being choked and oppression still rampant and worse than i think they werent catching activists as much as they are doing now. take them through a prison i guess now they're being greeted by the want to kill you with this building in the first place he's known simply as hostile here in egypt a social network or with a twitter army of some thirty thousand followers the military trials of civilians have to stop in egypt in egypt this is you know one of the major demands we're putting forward one of many demands including transparent trials for the fallen regime and the purging of corrupt officials they got rid of mubarak you know their high banking officials but now egypt will be the same way it was before january some of that little officials little mubarak so many remarks rather what they're

hiring them are running the country people like myself have been arguing for thinking for the factories sticking to her you tube universe and speaking to the workplaces meaning that in every single word police we have been there is a medieval now when it was never interested in politics in till january she was shot with twenty three pellets by riot police twenty of which are still in her like the pain is finally gone but her perseverance is not a barrier the fear is gone. and she will continue to fight to the end. every every egyptian citizen to be treated as a human being every protester has their own vision of the egypt they're fighting for some want a constitution then free elections others think the new laws should follow the vote but one thing that brings them all together is that this egypt is not the end. and

he says no way archie. georgia has charged three photo journalists including the personal photographer of president saakashvili with spying for russia tbilisi says it possesses video confessions proving their guilt they're not the first to have the finger of suspicion pointed at them last year thirteen people were detained and accused of being spies on russia's payroll and sentenced to fourteen years behind bars commenting on the recent events georgia's opposition leader you know with generosity told r.t. the evidence could have been obtained under pressure some of his whether it's an archetype case one person who always done the right asked even such kind of extermination they specially had to take into account that she was not the only wife too and they have a very small child life but have been released on for three. weeks the photographer mentioned so forty five just before he could say one hundred percent what is behind

the fed but the situation in georgia time to time with everything said beach condo had no real legal outcome and we never saw any kind of real it's human patients that government is going through right now government is trying to i read generally she's terrified and go to court because it's the government we are trying to control every party and i think until now we didn't defeat even one of the did. the work done the right thing. when you have that part of the government the fight when you have problems with socialized health care when you have a problem we. are immensely. and the rights of the people when you lost your country twenty percent to thirty thirty because you know i may dislike them but it's possible that you should find somebody who will be you'll see you never see which is strong in the country because they're the old police. and. quite easy to explain groups russian and you meet and ever. i think what you were wrong

you can't meet with the russian press recreating the icon of a mini. or trying to reach everybody equally think easy even for a day you drinking and we fighting for real democracy in this country she is transforming the person. and still had for you is our managing of the eurozone debt crisis that's at the top of christine lagarde to do with stand she sets out her stall as the new international monetary fund chief. rebels in libya are battling past government forces on the road to tripoli they are now moving towards the key town of tahn after a six week long impasse but the capital still remains over one hundred fifty kilometers away rebel rebels say their progress has been slow due to a lack of ammunition and nato support there have been suggestions that the winds is running low on arms itself and has asked germany for munitions got reports on

buildings that surprise turn after opposing the mission from the onset. more bombs wanted just over one hundred days of airstrikes and with just over two thousand bombs dropped by nato allies in libya the mission has run into an unexpected problem a lack of sales to drop where there is demand there is supply and this case germany has agreed to provide the much needed ammunition previously berlin how groups from voting in favor of the u.n. security council resolution on libya and move that surprised some and angered others but it may now be backing out of a decision the germans may not want to participate but they have decided that the position does not preclude them actually subsequent weapons in this case or systems some believe germany is under pressure from other nato members particularly the united states friends in the u.k. to take a more active part in the libyan campaign at first hand our. ministry's told the

foreign affairs minister don't go into libya it's a very bad conflict it was started by the cia and it's a dirty business don't go there so this is why you voted with russia and china now the backlash from washington is so tough obviously we are under pressure to do something to make up for this decision aside from peer pressure germany may be lured by the possible financial benefits of making its weapons available for natives use in libya probably germany will get paid for delivering these to other crunch but that is normal practice between. nato countries. out of the twenty eight major members only eight are actively participating in libya with civilian deaths to which neither recently admitted to a shortage of weapons and the ever relentless more and more death is still at the helm because listen maybe facing just the beginning of its problems. berlin is in

a tough spot on the one hand it has. disappointed nato by refusing to support the mission in libya and march on the other by agreeing to supply bonds it may now lose friends in other places and whatever the real reasons for its contradictory policy may be germany could find that by trying to please everyone it may end up pleasing no one in a goes corti. russia is holding firm on its condemnation of nato military action in libya the foreign minister says that the mission is a political game that's already cost too many lives. well the who would so nature is bombing libya longer that it was bombing yugoslavia several years ago and there is no end in sight it's obvious that politics is a cynical matter we hear from the western capitals that the bombing should go on until gadhafi backs off but the human cost of these political statements is very high. and are very story now the tragedy in central russia after

a pleasure cruiser sank with almost two hundred on board in the river volga in charge more than one hundred people are still missing about rescuers will continue searching through the night the vessel called the bulgaria reportedly sank within three minutes of getting into difficulty and was three kilometers from the shore when it went down it's thought to have been carrying people on a weekend sightseeing break some survivors were picked up and have been taken to cazan for treatment i witnesses say a storm is likely to be the blame for the sinking while others suggest a failure of the boat's engines although that has not been confirmed. to other news now britain's scandal plagued news of the world newspaper has world off the presses for the last time its final edition was apologetic but to find after being hastily closed by rupert murdoch this week the embattled media mogul flew to london to take charge of the crisis which engulfed in the paper and its parent company news

international its claim that journalists hacked the phones of murder victims and dead soldiers families police made a number of arrests on friday including a former editor of the paper who has also served as the prime minister's press chief media analyst phil reece says rupert murdoch has now lost his long standing immunity among britain's political elite. i think something changed this week you know for decades british prime ministers have been on a nice to the to the murdoch press because they knew that when the sun which is its main daily news pay to get in britain when the sun supported the british politician running for prime minister you know they wanted and then you find. the next day you find prime minister reading the sun looking like an idiot saying well the sun got me elected i mean so you cook this the meaning of democracy is the missing of democracy really which the murdoch press was at the party but i think i mean there was a for a silence as well because important people needed the murdoch press and they couldn't be they couldn't attack it because the back and i think

a line was crossed rupert murdoch has a very fine q. business brain he has a lot of things going on now one of them is to purchase the largest satellite network in britain called the sky b. and back decision is about to be approved by the government that was in jeopardy and i think he felt that as a businessman he had to sacrifice the news of the world because it in terms of the whole news international it's a tiny parcel of the political class who've been sucking up to rupert murdoch for so many years including prime minister david cameron he now has to stand back and say no i can't do anything or it's going to back this week of france's former finance minister stepped into strasse concert shoes and took over as i.m.f. chief christine lagarde first challenges to deal with a cash strapped e.u. as well as the world's continuing economic crisis but archie's christine for example reports there's still more interest in muckraking than money matters.

from violence on the streets of the middle east. to protest in north africa to europe. for portugal's credit rating has been deemed junk. into greece. for unemployment hunters at about sixteen percent and the debt crisis has sparked anger nearly all of this anger stemming from poverty and failed economic policies in the u.s. as well high unemployment sits atop a mountain of problems like housing prices and slow financial growth. this is the world christine lagarde inherits as she begins her new post as managing director of the international monetary fund and her first formal meeting with the press at the i.m.f. headquarters in washington she seemed optimistic in her hopes the international monetary fund is here to serve and to provide services to its hundred and eighty

seven numbers it's not actually a good news story i fill in on the world press conference for the new managing director of the i am and then garner quite a bit of media attention most likely it had less to do with christine lagarde or so and more to do with the reason why she's here. campbell what lessons do you think ought to be drawn from the way the u.s. legal system handled this case will be any reforms in the human rights and human resources policies here do you plan any changes and in light of the controversy over mr strauss kahn the controversy of course with dominique strauss kahn accused of raping a hotel maid in new york and that case now starting to crumble after it turned out the maid had credibility problems advance of the i.m.f. or look guard will take over let me ask you about a couple of issues what worries you the most guarded her best to stay on message we cannot be only driven by the hope to

reduce fiscal deficits and organize fiscal consolidation in a big way whether you look at advanced economies or whether you look at emerging markets or low income countries issue of employment. is a critical one the one hundred eighty seven nation organization has already lent one hundred sixty billion dollars to cash strapped nations many of which have little hope for paying it back. so the real questions are manifested here on the streets of some of the nation's suffering the most are accepting aid from the i.m.f. has been presented at times as the only option as a staring measures are now being put into place the questions too are in the dollar and how its value may or may not change under her watch for managing the debt crisis around the world will fall at the top of her agenda as the rest of the world

watches with hope first ability in an unstable world in washington christine freeze out r.c. . now says the shuttle atlantis has arrived at the international space station where it has got for the very last time as part of the fleets last ever mission it carried a crew of four americans and several tons of final supplies russian american and japanese astronauts are working on the station and it just last shuttle mission where i'm going to use for food and equipment after thirty years of highs and lows in america's space shuttle history the final landing will will be a painful time for many who have devoted their lives to the program or he's going to check out comments. empty shelves of what was once florida's thriving space coast. up to ten thousand people will be out of a job as soon as the last shuttle makes its final voyage back to earth home to many

of the kennedy space center workers rockledge is on the verge of becoming a ghost town without the space program or pretty much nothing i mean this is what you know because the beach was built on the space program you know just a lot of you are going to be on a job sorry me out people are non welfare left and right food stamps and sony chris a fully spent twenty three years with the shuttle launch team as an engineer with a plan kiss blasting off for its final mission it means the end of his career with nasa and the beginning of uncertainty a year ago he started looking for a new job to no avail i have applied for jobs and so far haven't gotten any concrete responses there's not that many jobs out there for sure the u.s. scrapped its shuttle program and now wants the private sector to come up with ways to get astronauts to space several companies are working on new vehicles but it's not clear when they'll be able to deliver them one thing is certain though they'll

be able to hire only a fraction of the skilled space industry workers will be out of work this is the first shuttle ever it never made it to space but it was used protests before the columbia shuttle first launch into space a nineteen eighty one a total of five shuttles have been used for space missions since that two of them were lost in tragic accidents in nine hundred eighty six and in two thousand and three those losses and the skyrocketing price for each launch gradually less to the cancellation of the program but critics say it's hard to estimate the losses that the end of the shuttle program will bring about both for the space industry and the people involved i think it's a really bad thing for the united states. to reduce the skilled work force it's going to be difficult to rebuild for years the shuttle has been the only vehicle that could ferry crew and a massive load of cargo to space officials say one of the reasons the program was scrapped is that it's safer and cheaper to send cargo and people separately

something that russia for example has been doing for many years but whatever the reasons for scrapping the thirty year old program for those who devoted their lives to it is the end of their dream job is kind of sad because i've already seen a lot of my friends go in the breeze they'll be more people they're probably may never see again it also means the end of the once vibrant scientific community that's grown up around the shuttle. and i paid of course of course will be keeping you up to date on the latest information from the tragedy in tatarstan stay with us right here marching.
